Around the grounds – 31 August 2011

There is also talk about gambling advertising on the MCG scoreboard,  a few sentences about settling the score from Sean Gorman’s new book, Legends, The AFL Indigenous Team of the Century, and details about how the Police Association in Victoria is using scoreboard pressure to argue for a pay rise.
